Original artwork for the cover by awesome Madison area artist Jeff Hiser. (Click here to see a larger version!)
"EASTER EGGS" ANYONE??? If you look in the dirt piles (on the cover, back, and on the CD iteself) you'll see some partly buried objects. Each one is a reference to something mentioned in a song lyric somewhere on the CD.
"Common Chord has delivered another record worthy of their name. I encourage them to keep digging."
